Political Persecution

Technical information

Description

The Girondists' rivalry with Robespierre and his allies has come to a head. The Girondists are under house arrest, but there are plans to move them to prison, so they can be tried (and inevitably executed). Warn the Girondists and help get them out of Paris.

Bishop:That was quick work. You've warned all of them.Now you need to distract the guards to help the Girondists get away. Head to the Bastille.

Arno arrived at the Bastille and climbed his way to the ramparts, where he spotted several piles of wood.

Bishop:Those woodpiles would make a perfect fire - and in my experience, nothing draws attention like fire.

Arno lit the two pyres.

Bishop:Nice work. The Girondists will be waiting at the Arsenal. Meet them there and smuggle them out of Paris.

Arno made his way to the Arsenal.

Bishop:The Girondists are hiding in the sewers under the building. They'll probably need some help getting out.

Arno opened several underground gates, allowing the Girondists to pass through the sewers unhindered. He then escorted them to the river bank, where several rowboats lay.

Girondists:Thank you for your kindness.I never thought we'd get away.Please, thank Danton for his help.You have our thanks.Thank you. You haven't heard the last of us.You've saved us! Thank you!You'll be repaid for this. Thank you.

Bishop:Looks like the coast is clear, so they should be safe now. Nice work.

Outcome

The Assassins smuggled the Girondists out of Paris, saving their lives.

Behind the scenes

Historically, as the Bastille was demolished in 1790, it would be impossible for the Assassins to create a fire in the fortress.
